COVID-19 Travel Regulations
If you’re planning a holiday this year, it’s important to keep up-to-date with the latest travel advice from The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

This guide will help you understand the difference between the two. It will also provide you with resources to help answer any COVID-19 travel related questions you may have.
Travel regulations continue to change to adapt to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic. So, here are some useful guides to help you travel with confidence:
Latest travel information on air bridges, the FCO guidance and quarantine
Latest flying rules from Government, BA, and Ryanair
What are COVID-19 Fit-for-Travel certificates and when are they necessary?
Several airlines require passengers to produce evidence of a recent negative COVID-19 test before flying. COVID-19 Fit-for-Travel Certificates are proof that you have tested negative for Covid-19. It is not related to your risk of flying due to your pre-existing medical conditions. You can get a free NHS test for coronavirus at a test site near you if you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus. However, COVID-19 tests are not available on the NHS for the purpose of international travel. In this instance private tests must be carried out.
How long is your COVID-19 Fit-for-Travel Certificate valid for?
Your COVID-19 Fit-for-Travel Certificate is only valid for a short time, your airline and destination will have their own requirements. It’s therefore important to check the requirements and take your test within the required time frame. This is usually 48hrs, 72 hrs, 96hrs.
